Bookroo's summary
Rob, a twelve-year-old who avoids reading, finds his life turned upside down when a bizarre creature, Wonkenstein, emerges from his closet. This odd mix of book characters leads Rob on a series of hilarious escapades. With the help of friends and a touch of magic, Rob must manage the chaos while discovering the unexpected joys of reading. Can he keep Wonkenstein under control, or will the creature's antics lead to more trouble than he can handle? Join Rob on a journey filled with laughter, friendship, and the surprising power of books.
From the publisher
Twelve-year-old underachiever Rob has better things to do than read. His parents give him lots of books, but most of them just end up in the messy pile of junk he keeps locked in his closet (that once doubled as a makeshift science laboratory). One day, Rob hears weird sounds coming from behind his closet door and discovers a funny little creature that seems to be a cross between two characters from books he’s tried to ignore. He names him Wonkenstein. Keeping track of Wonk is hard work. But with help from friends and a little off-the-wall magic, Rob and Wonkenstein’s crazy adventures set the stage for great laughs . . . and Rob might even read some good books along the way.
